Hawaii · network infrastructure
The snapshot records seven facilities in Hawaii across three cities, holding 33 network presences. Honolulu concentrates nearly all of that capacity, and DRFortress HNL alone lists 26 networks. Three exchanges run in Honolulu, and the busiest of them, DRF IX, carries 33 participants.
Internet exchanges in Hawaii
Exchanges are attributed to the state through the city they sit in, because PeeringDB records a state for facilities but not for exchanges.
| Exchange | City | Participants |
|---|---|---|
| DRF IX | Honolulu | 33 |
| HIX | Honolulu | 1 |
| HPT1-IX | honolulu | 1 |
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there.

|---|---|---|
| DRFortress HNL | Honolulu | 26 |
| AlohaNAP Datacenter | Kapolei | 2 |
| Servpac MTP DC | Mililani | 2 |
| AlohaNAP | Kapolei | 1 |
| Hawaii Pacific Teleport | Kapolei | 1 |
| Endeavor Data Center | Honolulu | 1 |
| Servpac Puahale DC | Honolulu | 0 |
What a Hawaii IP address tells you
Hawaii's recorded capacity sits in one building. DRFortress HNL in Honolulu lists 26 networks against 33 counted for the whole state, and the remaining sites hold one or two each, among them AlohaNAP and Hawaii Pacific Teleport in Kapolei, Servpac MTP DC in Mililani and Endeavor Data Center in Honolulu. Traffic meets locally at DRF IX, whose 33 participants account for most of the 35 peers recorded in Hawaii. HIX and HPT1-IX, both in Honolulu, list a single participant each.
A Hawaii IP address tells you which record an operator published, not where a device stands. Geolocation databases read the address on the registration, so a range registered in Honolulu can front equipment on another island or on the mainland. Mobile networks pool subscribers behind a small set of gateways. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon announce subscriber traffic from mobile ASNs such as 20057, 21928 and 6167, and a handset in Kapolei can leave through a gateway that a database reads as a different state.
With one site holding most of the state's network presence, the prefix itself is the useful check. The origin ASN says whether a route comes from a carrier mobile pool or from a network with a presence in DRFortress, and the netname on the block shows the registration behind the city label. Hawaii records 33 network presences in seven facilities, so a lookup that returns the state does not tell you which of those the traffic passed through.
Mobile carriers in the United States
A mobile address anywhere in Hawaii is routed by one of the country's operators. Each entry lists the operator's ASNs so you can check which network an address belongs to.
Questions
How many data centres are in Hawaii?
Seven facilities appear in the Hawaii snapshot, in Honolulu, Kapolei and Mililani, with 33 network presences between them. DRFortress HNL in Honolulu holds 26 of those, and no other site in the state records more than two networks.
Is there an internet exchange in Hawaii?
Three are recorded, all in Honolulu. DRF IX carries 33 participants, while HIX and HPT1-IX list one each. DRF IX accounts for nearly all of the 35 peers counted in Hawaii, so island traffic that peers at all mostly peers there.
Can I get an IP address in Hawaii?
Placement follows the operator's address registration, not a customer's choice of state. An address reads as Hawaii when the network holding the block registers it there. Because carriers register mobile pools centrally, a Hawaii handset can present an address that geolocation databases place elsewhere.
